Dzejson deKaires Tejlor je engleski umetnik, skulptor, rodjen je 1974., otac mu je Englez a majka iz Guajane. Odrastao je u Evropi i Aziji, gde je veci deo decacckog doba proveo proucavajuci malezijske koralne grebene. Skolovao se na jugoistoku Engleske u Kentu i maturirao na umetnickom koledzu Kambervel Instituta u Londonu 1998. kao Mladi Vitez Umetnosti sa pocasnom diplomom za skulpturu i keramiku.

Na pocetku 2008. Tejlor je, zajedno sa Dzejmijem Gonzalesom Kantom poceo da pravi planove za podvodni muzej, a ideja je bila da se vremenom prirodno pretvori u koralni greben. Naime, dr. Dzejmi Gonzales Miki, direktor nacionalnog parka Kosta Oksidental Isla Muheres, Punta Kankun i Punta Nizuk, primetio je da su turisti, sidra i ronioci ostetili prirodne koralne grebene, medju kojima najvise- najveci koralni greben u Kankunu, Mankones greben. Kanto i Tejlor, kojima se prikljucio i Roberto Diaz Abraham, predsednik Nauticke Asocijacije, koji je pristao na plan prve dvojice o izgradnji vestackog koralnog grebena... Abraham, Kanto i Tejlor osnovali su MUSU ( muzej podvodnih skulptura). Zajedno su osmislili vestacki koralni greben od korala i skulptura, kako bi vecinu turista i ronioca odvratili od velikog Mankones grebena. Taj vestacki koralni greben je postao podvodni muzej skulptura. Skulpture su zajedno sa Tejlorom na dno okeana postavila jos sestorica umetnika. Do kraja 2013. 500 betonskih skulptura je bilo u postavci MUSA zbirke. Pored te zbirke jos 26 replika je bilo postavljeno u centar za posetioce u Malu, Kukulkanu u hotelskoj zoni. Vise od sto hiljada posetilaca je posetilo MUSU tokom 2013., pored onih petsto hiljada koje je posetilo drzavno zasticeno podrucje.

Jason deCaires Taylor is an English artist, sculptor, born in 1974., his father was Englishman and his mother from Guyana. He grew up in Europe and Asia, where much of his childhood spent on coral reefs of Malaysia. He went to school in Kent, South East England, and graduated at Camberwell College of Arts Institute in London 1998. and received a B. A. Honours in sculpture and ceramics.

At the beginning of 2008. Taylor, along with Jaime Gonzalez Canto began to make plans for an underwater museum and the idea was to eventually turn into a natural coral reef. Specifically doctor Jamie Gonzalez Miki, the director of the National Park Costa Occidental Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancun y Punta Nizuc, noted that tourists, anchors and divers damaged natural coral reefs, including the most , largest coral reef, Manchones reef. Canto and Taylor, which joined with Roberto Diaz Abraham, President of Cancun Nautical Association, who agreed to the plan on the construction of artificial coral reef... Abraham, Canto and Taylor founded MUSA ( underwater museum). Together they designed an artificial coral reef made with corals and sculptures, to turn away majority of tourists and divers from big Manchones reef. That artificial reef has become an underwater sculpture museum. Taylor and six other artists set sculptures at the bottom of the ocean. By the end of 2013., 500 concrete sculptures was set up in MUSA collection. In addition to this collection another 26 replicas was placed at a Visitor Center at Kukulcan Mall in the Hotel zone. More than 100.000 visitors visited the museum in 2013., in addition to those 500.000, which visited Government Protected Area. 

“ Tiha Evolucija”

Postavka Dzejsona deKairesa Tejlora zove se “ Tiha Evolucija”. Skulpture u ovoj postavci treba da predstave ljudsku interakciju sa prirodom, kako pozitivni tako i negativni uticaj. Svojim radom kaze kako ljudi zajedno sa prirodom imaju zajednicku buducnost. Negativno je to kako ljudi unistavaju prirodu i koralne grebene bez imalo saosecanja. Svaka statua je napravljena da lici na lokalne ribolovce, u cijoj je zajednici Tejlor ziveo. Svaka statua ima svoju licnost i funkcije. Posvetio se svakoj skulpturi do detalja: od kose, preko odece i sve je moralo da bude savrseno. Skuplture su postavljene s ciljem ocuvanja grebena. Neke od statua su: devojcica sa bledim osmehom na licu, koja gleda prema povrsini, takodje sest poslovnih ljudi sa glavama u pesku, koji ne obracaju paznju na okruzenje, cak predstavlja i coveka za radnim stolom, sa svojim psom, koji deluje umorno i iskljuceno od okruzenja. Sve skulpture u “ Tihoj Evoluciji” , pokazuju kako neki ljudi vide i prihvataju njihovo okruzenje, dok drugi okrecu glavu. Statue su napravljene i ociscene ispod zemlje pre nego sto su porinute u okean, kako bi se sprecila kontaminacija vode, zivotinja i koralnog grebena. Tejloru je bilo potrebno osamnaest meseci, a potrosio je 120 tona cementa, peska i sljunka. S tim je jos iskoristio i 3800 metara fiberglasa, 400 kilograma silikona i 120 sati podvodnog rada da bi muzej bio napravljen. Umetnik je planirao da skulpture vremenom postanu vestacki greben, pa su izlivene od ph-neutralnog cementa, koji je specijalno osmisljen za morske uslove. Neki korali, kao sto je vatreni koral, su posadjeni na same statue i oko njih. “ Tiha Evolucija” ima dva dela. Prvi se odnosi na same statue pod vodom a drugi deo je posvecen tome sta ce priroda napraviti od njih i kako ce korali rasti i stvoriti novi koralni greben.

The “ Silent Evolution”

Jason deCaires Taylor's installment of sculptures is a collection he calls the " Silent Evolution". Sculptures in this setting should represent human interaction with the natural environment, both positive and negative impacts. His work says that people with nature have common future. Negative is how people are destroying nature and coral reefs without any compassion. Each statue was built to resemble the local fishermen, in whose community Taylor lived. Each statue has its own personality and features. He dedicated the sculpture to every detail of the hair over the clothes and everything had to be perfect. Sculptures are set with the aim of preserving the reef. Some of the statues are girl with a pale smile on her face, which looks toward the surface, also six business people with their heads in the sand, which does not pay attention to the environment, even represent the man at the desk, with his dog, who seems tired and excluded from the environment. All the sculptures in " Silent Evolution", showing how some people see and accept their surroundings, while others turning head. Statues are made and cleaned under the ground before being launched into the ocean, in order to prevent contamination of water, animals and coral reefs. It took Jason deCaires Taylor 18 months, 120 tons of concrete, sand and gravel. There was 3,800 m of fiberglass, 400 kg of silicone and 120 hours of working underwater to create the museum. The artist's sculptures planned to eventually become an artificial reef, so are cast of ph-neutral cement that is specifically designed for marine conditions. Some corals, such as fire coral, were planted on the same statue and around them. " Silent Evolution" has two parts. First part relates to the statue itself under water and the second part is devoted to what nature will do them and how will the corals grow and create new coral reef.

Muzej

Tri postavke su uradjene za muzej, dve se nalaze pod vodom a jedna na kopnu. MUSA je nabavila dozvolu da potopi 1200 delova na desetak razlicitih lokacija unutar podvodnog nacionalnog parka. Do sada su izgradjene samo dve, Mankones greben sa svojih 477 skulptura i Punta Nizuk sa 23 prelepe strukture. Treci izlozbeni prostor je u Malu, Plaza Kukulkan, sa 26 replika i originala. Tu moze da se vidi originalna skulptura Roberta Diaza Abrahama “ Muza Okeana”.

500 skulptura je planirano u postavci do kraja 2010. Ronioci sa maskama, podvodni ronioci i turisti mogu da vide podvodni muzej, ploveci brodom sa staklenim dnom. Kubanski skulptor Elier Amado Gil priprema novu instalaciju pod imenom “ Blagoslovi”. Nova instalacija treba da bude postavljena u novoj galeriji “ Sitales”.
